Location scout (planning)

As we have decided that the video will be in two parts there are two different main locations and one is the school environment and the other is outside. We have done a scout on the area of the school that we want to use and have matched each bit with a part from our video in the storyboard:

This is the first location that we need and is the entrance area that we will use for when that main person enters and goes into and out of the toilet, this is quite a large area and so there is a good space to get a range of shots that would be useful, to get a lot of quick short shots. It could be useful also to have at the end of the school section as the character runs out and we could include the same or a similar shot to as he came in to show that it's the same but the attitude is different.

This is the toilet that we will be using for the person to come in and find the mask, we thought that we could make use of the mirrors to get some good shots of the charactor to see themself in the mirror with the mask on and to get the image of them twice when he walks past because we like this idea and it will allow us to get a shot of both the front and back of the person at the same time.





This is the corridor that the main character will walk down, we decided that we would have him walking towards the camera on his own and have and thought of trying to edit it so that there would be flashes of people also walking down the corridor which emphasises the fact that it doesn't make a difference whether they are there or not.





This is the stair area that we planned to use for the character to go up to get to the test room that he is going to and we could use the same flashing that we had in the corridor, we also thought of using it for the person to go back down the stairs to leave the building which would be more energetic and the camera may move to show the unsturdiness of the mood. and although we liked the lighting of it and the general look we did think that we may not include this part as we didn't want to over explain things to the viewer or make the video too boring or long and clunky which might lose their attention.

As we thought that we might not use the stair part we came up with the back up idea of using the lift or the idea that he could leave using the lift as there is another mirror in there which fits with the theme.
